Summary:
The Granger School District in Washington serves 1,438 students from Pre-K through 12th grade across three public schools: Roosevelt Elementary, Granger Middle School, and Granger High School, all of which have very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need within the community.
Academically, all three schools perform below Washington state averages, with the Granger School District ranking in the bottom 5% statewide. However, there are notable differences between the schools. Granger Middle School is the top-ranked within the district, and Roosevelt Elementary has shown the most improvement in its state ranking recently. Granger High School stands out for its 89% graduation rate, which is above the state average, despite low standardized test scores.
Key takeaways include the substantial per-student spending across the district, which has not yet translated to average academic outcomes, and the significant variability in test performance between different grade levels within the same school. The improving trajectory at the elementary and middle schools, combined with the high school's strength in graduation, suggests areas of focus and potential growth for the district as it works to support its high-need student population.
